What is Integrative YOGA?

The practice of Integrative Yoga seeks lightness of the Body and quietness of the Spirit using a variety of techniques / practices.

It is a meditative practice either in movement through a sequence of yoga poses (Flow which follows the inspiration of Scavarelli) and Qigong movements or in search of physical and mental immobility (Yin / Meditation). The use of different breathing techniques is omnipresent in this practice in order to achieve inner calm.

A Yoga cruise also means finding a healthier biological rhythm by following the solar rhythm.

It starts as soon as you wake up by starting yoga just before sunrise, admiring and soaking up the beauty of nature.

The combination of gentle practices of Flow yoga and Qigong will allow the body to wake up and open gently. Basic breaths and/or Kriyas will be integrated into the practice which will end with a guided relaxation lying in Savasana’s pose or in sit-down meditation.

MAYA'S EXPERIENCE

In my yoga journey as a practitioner (Yogabhyshi) and as a teacher, with the sole purpose of sharing my knowledge, experiences and the journey of inner transformation, I was so amazed by the power of yoga and the practice of Qigong. I would really like to share this with you. What i share will allow your body to feel light and free again thanks to simple but effective Asana practices (Scavarelli inspired, Yin yoga, Qigong, and Meditation). What i share will take you into gentle pranayama (breathing) practices and allow your body to let go completely into relaxation. What i share is the knowledge of how to integrate yoga seamlessly into your daily life and during the cruise, how to integrate yoga in snorkelling or diving, taking you back to this simple presence and connection in everything we do. What i share will help to take you step by step to a place where you can naturally fall into a meditative state.

Feedback

With Jakare, it was my first liveaboard experience, and it couldn’t have been better. I love the attention to detail and aesthetics in all aspects in which the owners invest:

– the organization is fluid and thoughtful.

– the wooden vessel of the Jakare is an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship.

– I feel that the attention to environmental protection is honest and genuine.

– yoga at sunrise and sunset in a magnificent natural setting is paradise on earth for me.

– Maya is an amazing intuitive, sensitive and competent facilitator with a vast “repertoire” of movements and wisdom to share with great grace and ease.

– I like her style of yoga which is intergrated with Qigong, nonetheless I like it and it is good for my body and my soul. it’s nourishing and at a speed that allows me to have glimpses of my own habits and behaviors without judging them and just shake me up and make me realise.

– I loved how nice and kind they are to their staff. the crew is qualified, kind and in tune with each other and i felt safe and well served.

I can only recommend a live onboard experience with Jakare wholeheartedly.

During the yoga sessions on Jakaré, the exploration of nature becomes a reality.

Waking up at 5:30 am and breathing in the silent environment before sunrise was one of the best experiences of my life.

Maya, a high level integrative yoga teacher, organizes memorable and personalized yoga lessons.

Boating yoga is a combination of balance and breathing, and Maya helps you to achieve a natural rhythm.

Yin and integrative emerge in each of the postures, thanks to the deep Indian experience of Maya.

Yoga on Jakaré is recommended even for children and beginners.

The teacher’s innate sensitivity for each individual’s physical condition makes her safe. Not training but real yoga, I recommend Maya’s classes to real addicts!

The diving and yoga package on Jakaré was a perfect combination.Maya doesn’t just live and breathe yoga, but she taught me to meditate, showed me what Qigong could do with the practice of yoga and we even learned DYAD meditation on board which helped me understand and improve my communication skills.

The breathing exercise we had one morning really helped me on one of my dives. There were strong currents and I had a panic attack when I couldn’t see my boyfriend near me. The anxiety hit me and I felt like I was losing air, but luckily for me, I remembered my yoga practice and it helped calm my nerves underwater. I enjoyed the rest of the diving afterwards.

They have state-of-the-art equipment and the crew is competent and efficient. Most importantly, they are all warm and accommodating. I love how eco-friendly the Jakare cruise is. From its waste management system to the use of solar panels and ecological products on board. If you’ve never been on a cruise, try Jakaré. You want to make sure that the first time is comfortable. They have an incredible kitchen prepared on board as well as beautiful cabins with private bathrooms for your absolute relaxation and your peace of mind.
